  • Patent number: 9790907
    Abstract: The invention relates to an injection device for an internal combustion engine, comprising a needle and an armature, which is operatively connected to the needle in such a way that a movement of the needle can be produced by movement of the armature, the armature having at least one passage bore, through which fuel can be conducted to a needle tip, characterized in that a longitudinal axis of the needle and a longitudinal axis of the passage bore are oriented askew in relation to each other.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 22, 2015
    Date of Patent: October 17, 2017
    Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft

  • Patent number: 7239955
    Abstract: A method is provided for controlling an internal combustion engine operating in a homogenous mode. The internal combustion engine exhibits a control unit for setting the air supply, the fuel supply and the ignition angle. The method reduces the fuel consumption and increases a torque reserve that is to be made available for use. Starting from a specific distribution of air and fuel in the mixture, the air mass to be supplied is increased, which leans the air-fuel mixture such that a first torque reserve is generated. In the event of a positive torque request, the fuel mass to be supplied is increased in order to enrich the air-fuel mixture.

  • Patent number: 5831411
    Abstract: In a method for supplying voltage to a motor vehicle with a battery, with a generator driven by the engine of the vehicle, and a device for regulating the idle rpm of the engine as a function of the respective operating state of the battery, the device for regulating the idle rpm is subject to a regulating signal that depends on the charge state of the battery.
